<p>When you have those questions that give you some equation and ask you to solve for like x/y, how do you transform it in this form?</p>
<p>For example, if I get y=15x, and I need to get it into x/y notation, how do I do this?</p>
<p>Please Help.</p>
<p>Divide both sides by y. You get 1=15x/y
We see our x/y, but we have that 15 there which we dont want. Move it over by dividing both sides by 15. In the end you get 1/15 = x/y</p>
<p>y=15x </p>
<p>Substitute any two numbers in that satisfy the equation. X could equal 1 and y could equal 15. 1 divided by 15 is 1/15.</p>
